Background And Objectives: The associations of intrinsic capacity (IC) with dietary diversity and body mass index (BMI) remain unclear in older adults. This study aimed to examine the associations of dietary diversity and BMI on high IC.
Methods: The cross-sectional study used data from the Fujian Prospective Aging Cohort, which included 1972 individuals aged 60-98 from 2020 to 2021. The dietary diversity score (DDS) was constructed with eight food varieties, and consuming ≥five varieties of food daily was considered a high DDS. BMI was grouped into underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity according to the Chinese guidelines. High IC was defined as ≥three unimpaired domains of cognition, locomotion, sensory, vitality, and psychology.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the separate association of high DDS and BMI groups with high IC. Compared with low DDS, high DDS had a positive association with high IC (OR = 1.42, 95 % CI = 1.16-1.74). Compared with normal weight, underweight was inversely related to high IC (OR = 0.18, 95 % CI = 0.09-0.36), overweight was positively related to high IC (OR = 1.65, 95 % CI = 1.33-2.06), while no significant association was observed between obesity and high IC. The restricted cubic spline model exhibited an inverted U-shaped nonlinear curve of BMI and high IC and identified an optimal BMI of 25.7 kg/m for high IC.
Conclusions: High DDS is a protective factor of high IC in older adults. Overweight had the most protective association with high IC among the four BMI subgroups. Individuals with overweight and higher dietary diversity had higher IC.

Background: Developing interventions along with the population of interest using systems thinking is a promising method to address the underlying system dynamics of overweight. The purpose of this study is twofold: to gain insight into the perspectives of adolescents regarding: (1) the system dynamics of energy balance-related behaviours (EBRBs) (physical activity, screen use, sleep behaviour and dietary behaviour); and (2) underlying mechanisms and overarching drivers of unhealthy EBRBs.
Methods: We conducted Participatory Action Research (PAR) to map the system dynamics of EBRBs together with adolescents aged 10-14 years old living in a lower socioeconomic, ethnically diverse neighbourhood in Amsterdam East, the Netherlands.

Background: Research links gut microbiota to postoperative delirium (POD) through the gut-brain axis. However, changes in gut microbiota and fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in POD patients during the perioperative period and their association with POD are unclear.
Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study among patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, focusing on POD as the main outcome.

Dietary polyphenols represent a diverse group of plant-derived compounds known for their extensive biological activities, offering significant promise in the prevention and treatment of various chronic illnesses. Despite their potential, advancements in their research have been curtailed by challenges in structural analysis and limitations in existing research models. This review marks a pioneering exploration into how bile acids, gut microbiota, and the gut-brain axis serve as conduits through which dietary polyphenols can exert therapeutic effects on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Animal welfare is integral to sustainable livestock production, and pasture access for cattle is known to enhance welfare. Despite positive welfare impacts, high labour requirements hinder the adoption of sustainable grazing practices such as rotational stocking management. Virtual fencing (VF) is an innovative technology for simplified, less laborious grazing management and remote animal monitoring, potentially facilitating the expansion of sustainable livestock production.
